I noticed that in previous games R.Nilsson, but not this one. Always used to happen to me when there was a bit of controversy.
I never agreed with the computer cheating thing, till Richard fecking Dunne, yes, Richard Dunne, scores in his own cnuting half in the last few minutes of an FA cup game when Van Der Sar wasn't even off his line.
My brother is running a Newcastle game and he just finished 4th in his first season, his players are pretty much the same with the only notable addition being Ochoa. His top 2 scorers were his 2 strikers, he plays a tactic which is a variant of 442. I wondered how the hell he got all this success so i had a look around.
Was it in the team instructions? No. Everything was set in the middle, and i mean everything.
Player instructions then surely? No. Apart from wingers with forward runs everything for everyone was down the middle.
Maybe the problem with a lot of tactics on FM09 is over thinking.

That reminds me of when my mate did a similar thing with Chelsea, except his players were what got him the results.
Errrrrr.... WTF?? Never seen anything like this before?!
Is it cnut !?
Nice pic ps
I want to know the last name !!!
Just signed a 26 year old Wayne Rooney for a coooool 70mil
It's an elaborate april fools joke that only occurs when it's 1st of april on the game and real life at the same time, so I'm reliably informed.
feck me that's annoying - I started the season using a 442 with a diamond, which destroyed most teams for about a month and then my players started playing like a pack of speds. Then I switched to 4231, which also worked for about a month and then they just died again. Then I switched to 532 (with a sweeper) and that fell apart faster than the others, and now I'm back at the standard 442.
I understand it not working away against big teams but for a tried and tested formation not to work at home against relegation fodder is nuts.
Jinxed it with this post.
Wimbledon have gone past me. Luckily thanks to the phenomenal start to the season there's some 15+ pts between me and the rest of the pack.
And up to the Championship as league 1 winners I am.
First game I copped a fecking pasting from Boro, and the thick chav I assigned to work on all my player contracts has been fecking penny pinching despite us being about 40k under our wage budget, so half of my stars have fecked off

Im into my fourth season with leicester. Got them into the championship first season, and since then been building a cheap squad. Now upto 2nd , with few months to go and all my best players want to feck off to bigger clubs. the cnuts.
Amaury Bischoff and Celso Borges though, both legends

Just got this last night. There goes my easter!
Okay. I just got my keeper sent off for a handball after 8 minutes. Against Chelsea. I have no other keepers.
feck.
Rafael just scored against me! (No wait, it counted as an own-goal)
Edit: A 2 goal loss without a proper keeper for 82 minutes? I'll take it.

City are currently a phenom. Vagner Love is pretty much one of the greatest strikes of all time.
Apply hard tackling and he's lucky if he gets one
Anyone have any suggestions for fun teams to manage? I usually just manage United after a few seasons being simmed but now I'm finding it hard to find the fun with anyone. Barcelona have gotten a bit dull now that Bojan is scoring like crazy. What're the good teams in Italy to manage?
You haven't seen his stats on my game
Can never go wrong with middle-table Italian sides, managed Atalanta for 3 years once and took them from relegation battling to Champions League, won the UEFA Cup & the Italian Cup twice in my stay.
Okay how can I stop my newly promoted Southend from getting pasted by the big boys in the Championship?
And why the feck is Robbie Fowler so useless - got him for free from Cardiff, enticed by all of his good stats, and then he proceeded to do nothing except demand a few weeks off after every cameo appearance. Faggot.

Look for Jack Hobbs (loan), Christos Karypidis (Hearts reserves), Jason Brown GK. They should all be good enough to shore up defence, check if amuary bischoff is on a free arsenal release him, and with regular football he turns into a quality DM/MC.
You could play with Parma in Serie B. They have a strong squad and should easily get promoted after just one season.
I picked a random LEague 1 side - Southend.
The boy's a genius!
This team was unstoppable.
League 2 and Johnstone's Paint Trophy champions.

I bought a regen youngster from Arsenal for £4.5m, sold him back for £41.5m 5 seasons later
I wonder if there's some hard-coding stuff going on to make rival games as tense as possible.
This is AI vs AI, by the way, in 2015. Not the most extreme example out there, but these are all over the place. Usually involving both Spurs and Arsenal..

I can't play this anymore, the game is not shit its just not fresh anymore its just more of the same and after a season or two its the same old.
I gave in to the addiction, im back playing now
Would like to go back playing, it's been a while. Don't see the point though, sure it's fun but in the end there's just a massive amount of hours gone to waste. I could sit from 1pm to 5am 5 days in a row playing network game with a friend of mine.
Am I missing something here?
Doesn't look like a regular, but jesus that's awful awful decision making by Mr.Gill and the Gaffer (Whoever it is now)

That'd be good old Mike Phelan. He's not all bad, though. Since he took over in 2010 (it's august 2015 now) he's won the Champions League twice, the Premier League twice, the FA Cup once, the Super Cup once and the Community Shield twice.
Granted, Fergie had time to win the League and the Champions league before he retired, among other things. One of the last things he did was make Rooney captain, and Rio vice
Oh, and another feather in Phelan's hat: He made Ronaldo stay!
Oh oh, and that picture is just one example of United's weird policy towards crap keepers. I'm a decently good Reading, and they just bought my terrible 2nd keeper. It only cost them £1.5 million, but they keep buying guys like him (and selling them). I just checked, and though keeping in mind they still have time to buy before the window closes, that crap keeper is actually put as the first team keeper, with good old David Martin as backup

Maybe we shouldn't judge him so harsly then huh?
The future is bright Caffers !
Man City always buy shite goalies for backup, then sell them, then buy more shite goalies
Into October in year 1 and im having a common problem, lack of goals, and conceiding.
My league record is nothing to write home about... 7th place with 2 wins, 2 draws and a defeat to Villa.
My best performance so far was against Wolves in the LC with my kids... signed some 15-year-old French lad Roullion spotted and Saivet for a combined 5 million and both broke 8's in this match, as well as Welbeck and Macheda.
Thinking of ditcing 4-4-2 and doing 4-5-1... I'm not going to re-sign Tevez so im gonna try to sell him before the transfer window so he'll move in July, and I'm re-training Rooney to play on the left as Giggs' "replacment".
This is my potential XI after two seasons, i'm setting my side up for the future:
Worthy?
For the record i've sold Possebon already in my first off-season for 3 Million
Also, Has anyone started with the newest patch and Tosic has been a beast? He's my first choice LM when I play a 4-4-2, he's on a 7.26 right now !
